Several different kinds of "bite"

What we know at this point:

1) It's 3 am. I've been up since 1 am. Earlier today I told Colleen that I can't go to bed before midnight because I inevitably sleep for two or three hours and then wake up in the middle of the night. This evening I was v. tired at 11 pm so I thought, Why not see if it's still true? And sure enough -- up at 1. For two hours and counting. I did get some work done on the 370 GUI, but ...

2) It's been waaaay too long since I've worked with a GUI in NetBeans. And I have to have some shit slapped together by Thursday's meeting. Perhaps the Dirtbombs can help, because ...

3) At the Dirtbombs' website, leadman Mick Collins lists his drugs of choice as theobromine and Linux. Even though I'm not obsessed with Linux, finding this out about Mick has only intensified my schoolboy crush on him. But alas ...

4) The Dirtbombs are playing Edmonton and then Toronto. Or rather, they were to have played Edmonton on the 15th, and their next date is in Toronto on the 29th. That's fourteen days, any one of which they could have spent in Saskatoon. I suspect this same sort of heartbreak will re-occur because ...

5) If Dressy Bessy ever manages to update their tour dates page, their schedule will no doubt reveal a distinct lack of Saskatoonishness. But there's always the chance that ...

6) The Modey Lemon's new album, Curious City, will rock. And I will rock with it, just as soon as I win it on Ebay and receive it from England. Because really ...

7) What's the deal with English Ebayers having all the good rock stuff? Nation of Ulysses t-shirts (even if they're just homemade), Modey Lemon promo cd's, and ... er ... other stuff ... It's like England has some amazing rock and roll infrastructure that's already set up for everything underappreciated American bands have to offer. It's almost like England is the Halliburton of rock: they manage to get all the no-bid contracts. And not just that, but ...

8) The latest Arrested Development fucking killed, what with the trip to Orange County's "Wee Britain" neighborhood. The structure of the episode was unusual; instead of the fake "Next time on Arrested Development ... " there was a fake "Previously on Arrested Development ... " which seemed to coincide with the joke that the streets are reversed in Wee Britain. And thus ...

9) I have "For British eyes only ... " caught in my head. Come on ...

10) It's 3:42 am. I should be sleepy any day now ...
